Hyper Scape could be a new free-to-play FPS battle royale. Ubisoft will present the title this week. Insiders have already revealed what the game is about and that the Twitch chat plays a role.
Where does the information come from? It seems that Ubisoft wants to enter the free battle royale shooter market with its own title. Similar to Apex Legends or Warzone, the developers could now announce such a title with Hyper Scape.
Details about the game come from eSports reporter Rod Breslau, who cites anonymous sources. Shortly after his “leak”, Ubisoft also released the first teasers for Hyper Scape.
What will Hyper Scape be?
This is what the leaks say: Ubisoft Montreal, the developers of Rainbow Six: Siege, are working on the new title “Hyper Scape”. A battle royale with fast-paced gameplay and integration through livestreams.
On Twitter, Rod Breslau states, “Hyper Scape is a free-to-play battle royale FPS set in a futuristic virtual world and will be released for PC and consoles.” Breslau cites unnamed sources.
When will the game be released? On July 12, during the “Ubisoft Forward” event, the game is expected to be presented and launched.
“Hyper Scape goes into closed beta next week,” writes Breslau. An open beta is also supposed to follow.
Will the Twitch chat be involved?
This is special: What could make the battle royale shooter unique is the leaked interaction with the livestream platform Twitch.TV.
According to Breslau’s leaks, viewers can directly influence the game of a streamer by triggering “game changing events”.
It seems to be about items or settings that provide more speed or health points.
Hyper Scape is said to have been developed in full partnership with Twitch. It is said to have strong integration with the Twitch chat, “like you have never seen in a big game before”.
This also includes that streamers receive a share of the money when viewers purchase the bit currency of the Twitch platform during a Hyper Scape stream.
What does Ubisoft officially say about Hyper Scape?
These are the first teasers: On the evening of June 29, the website “Prismadimensions.com” went live. It mainly focuses on lore and background of Hyper Scape. It is mentioned that a presentation is scheduled for July 2. Probably the first official trailer?

In addition, some streamers have already released teasers for the game. Among them is TwoSixNine:
What do you think of the first information about Hyper Scape? Is this a game that suits your taste, or do you think Twitch integration isn’t good and would rather do without it?
The fact that battle royale and stream viewers do not exclude each other was also demonstrated by this experiment, where the Twitch chat played PUBG – and did relatively well.
